Hello,
Newegg is having a sale on the MSI P55-GD85 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 30261-L09C And I need to change my mobo as it's been finicky the last couple of weeks. I'm looking for SataIII and usb 3 too. I was wondering if anyone has this board, or the vanilla version GD80? And any thoughts on compatibility? A comparison of the boards http://www.newegg.com/Product/Productco ... 130-261-TS

After some poking around the interwebs I found that the MSI P55-GD85 is apparently an amped up version of the MSI P55-GD65, same audio (Realtek ALC889) same ethernet (Realtek 8111DL) with the addition of an extra 8 PCI-E lanes and USB 3 and SATA III. I searched this site and found a few people with the GD65 working with sleep as a possible problem. Does this mean the GD85 will be usable?

GD65 working like a charm, everything but sleep. Not sure about firewire - cause have no such devices.
